I have a 1/4 acre pond in my back yard. It's been there before the house was even built in the late 70s. The banks have eroded back pretty far in the 17 years I've lived here.

Has anyone ever built a retaining wall like what you would see at a golf course pond. Or maybe some other idea. I need to stabilize any further erosion. I know wood may rot pretty fast but I really can't think of any other solutions.

I do have older trees on the front side that seems to hold the bank better with all the roots but it's still moving back some too.
